Attarintiki Daredi: Nadhiya Continues to be the Best

I saw Nadhiya before in Mirchi, and was stunned by how the “mother” actress was so much more beautiful and interesting than the love interests.  That is even more true in this film, to the point that it is almost acknowledged in the script, that Pawan Kalyan was more interested in bringing his aunt home, than in spending time with her daughter who he professed to be in love with.

Happy 14 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Countdown Day 3!

I’ve down my 16 favorite videos, and my 15 favorite fanvideos.  How about 14 favorite photos?  That seems reasonable, right?  It’s just now hitting me that I have committed to coming up with a new thing to countdown every day.  This is going to be harder than I thought!

Nayakan: Finally! A Kamal Haasan Movie I like!

As you may have picked up from my Aval Shanmughi and Ambe Sivam posts, I have a hard time with Kamal Haasan.  Yes, he is a brilliant actor.  Yes, he has movie star charisma.  But it just seems like his characters have to be so perfect and so wonderful, that no one else is allowed to do anything.  But this Kamal Haasan movie, this one I liked!

Monday Afternoon Questions! Because I forgot to put it up this morning!

Maybe I should make it Tuesday morning questions?  Since I keep forgetting on Monday.  But then I would just forget on Tuesday, and it would turn into Wednesday questions, and then Thursday, and Friday, and Saturday, and Sunday, and back to Monday again!

Sick Day Songs

I’m still sick.  Way too sick to deal with anything emotional or challenging like a post about a movie, or even gossip news or box office.  Instead, I am sitting around listening to super soothing songs.  Just in case you are ever this sick (and I hope you aren’t!  This is terrible!), I’ll share my play list with you.

Kishore Kumar’s Death Anniversary

Unfortunately for poor Ashok Kumar, his brother Kishore died on his birthday.  After which Ashok stopped celebrating his birthday.  I didn’t stop celebrating it, but I will acknowledge Ashok’s wishes by also putting up a post in honor of Kishore’s death.  And also, I am still really sick and a Kishore themed post seems like something I can do without thinking too much.

Happy Ashok Kumar’s Birthday!!!

I am super sick, so my brain head typing fingers aren’t really working.  I can’t handle anything complicated, like my usual “reasons I love you style birthday posts”. But I think I am up to writing a little narrative of Ashok Kumar’s life.  Even if I can’t handle all the many many news stories that are coming out and I should really be talking about (nothing huge, like Shahrukh getting a divorce or something, but I’d really like to talk about the Censor Board certificate for Ae Dil at some point in the distant future when I no longer feel like death).
